Chapter: | On knowing the juxtaposition of “who requested to reach Me by way of evidence and proof he shall never reach Me, because nothing is like Me”. |
Page 30 - from Volume Four (Display Image)O builder, knot it on the evidence, you *** did not know where the basis of the intention is, O builder Whoever has an attribute, then where is his unity *** The far home is not the near home Who is the storyteller in our evidence *** and you have come to this with authority Shari a unites it, unites the rank of ***, and the truth supports it from a second aspect [ Name the sight in the mind the eye of insight ]God Almighty said, the eyes cannot perceive Him, meaning from every eye of the eyes of the faces and the eyes of the hearts, for hearts do not see except with sight, and the eyes of faces do not see except with sight. In the interior is a place for the eye, which is sight in the eye of the face, so the name differs over it, and what differs is in itself. It was mentioned in the report on the authority of the Messenger of God, may God s prayers and peace be upon him, that God is hidden from intellects as He is hidden from sight, and that the High Peoples seek Him just as you ask Him. So we shared the request with the Supreme Clergy, and we differed in the manner. Some of us ask for it with his thought, and the Supreme Assembly has reason, and he does not have the mind, and among us are those who ask for it with it, and there is no one in the Supreme Assembly who asks for it by means of it, because the perfect of us is on the divine image that God created him on and not the king over it. To seek God through it, and whoever seeks it by means of it reaches it, for no one else has reached it, and the perfect one of us has supererogatory actions that exceed his obligations. By him, not by himself, and then an angel who draws near to God by means of supererogatory actions, rather they are in the obligatory duties, so their obligatory duties have taken their breath away, so there is no supererogatory among them. Our existence and God is the will of His judgment in us, for subjective lordship is necessary and cannot be lifted, and the lordship of the will itself is possible in the possibilities, so he will outweigh by it whatever he wills. our words in Mental permissibility because it is impossible for us to attribute the neighborhood to God until it is said that it is permissible for God to forgive you, and it is permissible for God not to forgive you, and it is permissible to create and it is permissible not to create. They lacked what they adhered to from this ruling to affirming the will so that the truth would outweigh it, and there is no secret of the error in this doctrine, for it returns the truth judged by what is in excess of itself, and it is the essence of another subject, even if the owner of this doctrine does not say that that extra essence is the same truth. Nothing other than his own eye, for what we say is that this created eye, from its being possible, accepts existence and accepts non-existence . The matter is as we said, and as for their protest by saying, If God willed, and if God willed, then this protest is against them. So see that it is obligatory and consider *** and it is a denial that there is a strange secret Like the one who calls and what is then for the one *** He calls himself and then answers And with this the text came to *** everyone of sound mind and nobility And he was upon the example of the one who came to him, circumambulating forever and wandering Like I visited a boy from Hashem *** whose origin is between Lakhm and Tajib And respond to the one who hears you *** He is the deprived one who does not respond [ The possible for the possible is the judgment that shows the choice in the likely ]So know that the possible for the possible is the rule of the one who showed the choice in the likely, and that in the likely one is one and it is one of the two things |
